FirstNationalBastard:Stupid farking Nickelodeon... they've edited both Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life because of TEH CHILDRUN! Won't even put the unedited versions of the episodes we watched as kids out on DVD.

Rubber Biscuit:From what I can discern, no one who grew up in the nineties ever became an adult. All they ever do is wax nostalgic about their childhoods and whine whenever anyone or anything connected with their formative years does literally anything. A generation completely wasted on themselves.

I don't know if it counts as growing up in the 90s (I was born in 83), but I kind of agree with your summation.

I wouldn't say that that navelgazing is restricted solely to 90s kids -the "they raped my childhood!" exclamations seems to be very much an 80s kids thing- but the waxing nostalgic over some not-great things about the 90s has always been odd to me. (i.e. I had an N64 and even enjoyed it at the time, but the nostalgia over what is essentially only a half dozen or so genuinely great games doesn't really make much sense to me; Rocko's Modern Life was also the only Nicktoon worth a damn, yet the want to spend their time reminiscing about farking Rugrats, etc.)

B.L.Z. Bub:They are afraid of the backlash. Why is this hard to understand?

I think his point was that there's no backlash left to be had. I don't think anyone worthy of worry for Nickelodeon would begrudge them an unedited release of unedited cartoons (that aired in their entirety) from the 90's. I kinda wonder the same about Beavis and Butthead. I never saw the original banned episodes but to my knowledge they're still unavailable.

Hell Aeon Flux was far more graphic and/or suggestive and I don't think any of them were ever censored at all.

Shouldn't you be directing your outrage at the parents activist groups that intimidate companies like Nickelodeon?

While those groups do deserve a healthy dose of outrage, Nickelodeon deserves just as much.

Ren and Stimpy and Rocko aren't kids shows any longer. They haven't been reran on Nick or any "network for kids" in over a decade. No one under the age of 21 would really know they even exist. They're now solely for the 90s kids who have all grown up. Throwing the uncensored, unedited versions on DVD wouldn't hurt anyone (and honestly, what was edited isn't that outrageous to begin with). Yet they won't do it. When Shout released Rocko, they asked for the broadcast versions, and were denied for no good reason.

I loved getting home from school and watching Double Dare. Watching kids throw shiat at each other and having to catch it on their head or in their pants, getting filthy in the process. No wonder they don't have shows like that anymore, the poor kiddos might get dirty or harmed in some way. That goo might have been handled improperly!!
